Graduate Assistant Employment Benefits

Medical and Dental Coverage

The Graduate Assistant Health Plan provides medical and dental coverage to eligible graduate assistants working 195 hours during the official semester payroll dates. To learn more about eligibility or coverage, contact:

Former Graduate Assistants

Former graduate assistants can also get resident tuition rate reductions for up to four semesters, based on the number of graduate assistant appointments. You are eligible if you have completed two semesters of a graduate assistantship at 195 semester hours.

Your immediate family (spouse, children, or legal ward living in the household) can also get the resident tuition rate reduction if they provide a:

marriage license (in English or English translation)

birth certificate

or a visa

The resident tuition rate reduction must be used within three years of the last qualifying semester. You can ask for a retroactive resident rate reduction up to one academic year from the current semester.
